Today's Walgreen's deal is 10 cents for each print and there is NO minimum like there is usually. So get out the Christmas photos or New Year's Eve party photos and get them printed. You will need a coupon and you can print it HERE.

It is that time of the month again when the coupons from Coupons.com, RedPlum.com, SmartSource.com will be reset soon. This means that you will be able to print off your favorite coupons now and then if it stays around, you can print it again. Though not all coupons stay the same each month, so print it off if you think you will be able to use it.

To save on paper, be sure to print in groups of 3. If you only want 11, add another coupon on and pass the coupon along. You don't have to use it, but someone else may be able to and they will save a few cents ore even dollars!

I know that my favorite Walgreens cashier loves getting extra coupons from me that I won't use. She is able to pass along those savings!

"Since I started stockpiling items, I have been getting items for close to free. I have noticed how bulky and large our cupboards are starting to get, especially since my fiancée and I have no children. I finally started asking around to see if my church or food shelves would take donations for shampoos, body washes and etc.

One food shelf (near me in Forest Lake) said that this is actually what they need more of, since they mostly get food. They also mentioned that the travel sizes work best since they can help more people that way. I myself struggle with this, since there are so many coupons for items I don't necessarily need, especially these travel size items when I can get the larger sized items for almost free. But know that I know this, I am trying to put more aside for charity. I was just wondering if you could share this with some of your readers and maybe mention some food shelves that are in need of donation".

I totally agree that food shelves need more than just food. Last year alone, I donated more than 400 non food items to local charities around me.

Each year, my son's school hosts a "Stuff a Truck" food drive. Each year we donated and the donations of items kept growing. One year we brought in 550 items, yes we counted, as the school was having a contest! I would say that 150 of those items were shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, etc. I wanted to donate women's supplies, but didn't think that the elementary kids would understand those. LOL

So, if you can get something for free and you can not use it or give it away to a family or friend, please consider donating it. Ask at your church if they have a program to help out families in your church. CEAP is another great place to donate (they take clothing also). If you need help to find a place to donate, please post in the comment section.

***Free shipping code for 2/25 and 2/26 is FSFEB2010. I used it with a 15% code too (0999000405169) to get some good deals for my son.****
